A Must!I had the wonderfull oportunity of making the trip to Machu Picchu twice and both times I hiked the 50 km across the Andes on the Inca trail. For those of you who like to hike the scenery alone is worth the trip;however, if you are not used to operating at high altitudes, the first 2 of the 4 days can be strenous if you are not in shape.

UnbelievableThe day we went the train employees were on strike. So, only those who hiked were able to visit that day. I recommend that if you are healthy that you hike. The arrival through the sun gate is amazing and you feel like you deserve such spendor after 2 days of hiking!You did not find this review helpful.4 of 7 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALL

Once in a lifetime journeyMachu Picchu is one of those rare expeditions that everyone should do atleast once in their lifetime. The grand structures built by the incas along with the beauty of the andes makes this trek one of the most liked treks in the world. If you are up for it, do the 4 day trek with any of the reputed tour companies from Cusco, if not atleast take a train to this magnificient ruins.You have found this review helpful.6 of 8 Yahoo!

Cusco and the area is not to be missedHave been to Cusco twice. Went to Machu Picchu in 2003. That large peak you see behind MP is worth the effort. The view of MP from there will be a highlight. The peak looks menacing but there is a wire rope going up most of the trail. My second trip to Cusco last October I went to Choquoquira. Many outfitters will help organize this hike 4-5 days depending on which outfitter.You have found this review helpful.5 of 6 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphere

i would live here if they let meI loved the view of course. You must do the 1-hr+ hike up Wayna Pichu, the view is worth it. Bring lots of water, but keep your hands free to hold on. We saw a newborn llama, it was very exciting. Can't wait to return.You have found this review helpful.5 of 5 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphereValue

Let the Wild Wind BlowMy favorite dreamscape in the entire world is the Patagonian coast in South America. I became intrigued with this spectacular area when I read a novel where it was featured in a 'scene'. I was emotionally, pchologically and spiritually swept up with excitement in the words of the author describing standing on the oceancoast among giant ...You did not find this review helpful.0 of 3 Yahoo!

It's wonderfulI'd like the antiquety, stones handcraft. It's so mystical everything. Incas were a great civilization, different of us.
I didn't like some services a little. They must improve them.You did not find this review helpful.1 of 3 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphereValue -
There is nothing like it !!It is an amazing feeling to see this hidden city among the mountains. It is amazing to see the way Incas built these structures and the way it has survived for so long. I totally recommend it. You can take a train from cusco to Agua Calientes but if possible, do the 4 day hiking route. Just the first view of Machu Picchu from a far away point on the hiking trail in the early morning is worth the trip.You did not find this review helpful.1 of 2 Yahoo!
